    Mimi's back!

    Yeah had to laugh at the VIP / Gold email and call me old fashioned but a premium increase which is the price of a 2nd class stamp is not my idea of "massive" lol!

    Been so busy with work in my own business I've only done a few MS assignments in the last month but two were for new to me MSC and at long last managed to get a collect from a slapper job so at least they were interesting ones.

    Over 100k miles of Electric Motoring and rising,
  • I'm very tempted to accept a job I've just found checking out a pet store. The fee is £56784763 but I have a feeling its a typo :(

    More receptive if there are several of the same type and you approach them suggesting you would be able to do a batch of them.

    Good luck!
    arghhh!!!

    For ones off's they are lousy but if you can tied three or four together they are open to offers.

    Ah ok thanks for the tips - I'm on foot so there's only the one I could do, apart from some train ticket jobs, which I don't fancy at all. I'll leave that one for them to sort out then :D

    Only a flying visit. Got a bit bored of the usual whinging / newbies taking over pallarva. All the other regulars seemed to have disappeared too?

    Out of interest, have ESA paid anyone the actual train ticket money/postage costs? I must have spent close to £1K and I would like it back at some point. I will query with ESA tomorrow but if anyone knows, do spill. Thanks in advance.

    :(

    I can't work out what's happening with the train reimbursements. The latest Pay Statement shows some fees will be paid but no reimbursement, plus there's a whole heap of visits (even ones done in July) not showing on the Statement. I had a random payment a few weeks ago but I have no idea what it's for and had no explanation.

    I got a voicemail from them a few weeks ago telling me I'd bought the wrong ticket. I hadn't and when I called to tell them they had no idea what I was talking about.

    Chaos in ESA towers?

    Good grief, that sounds scary. I was thinking I would get the wrong ticket email at some point but nothing.

    I will give Josh a call tomorrow and see what he says and report back. I'm not in a big rush to be paid for the tickets but knowing me I will probably forget about it in a week so might as well chase it up when it's fresh in my mind. :D
